OKTBC is an bi-annual one-day free event for teens and YA-lit fans, aimed at connecting Oklahoma teens to YA authors and books. The mission of the Oklahoma Teen Book Convention is to provide an opportunity for teens to celebrate a love of reading through a multi-faceted experience of diverse activities in an inclusive and accepting environment.

Attend the Con

TICKETS?

Authors panels

Panel sessions with YA Authors from around country will be at OKTBC to talk, chat, and generally be awesome. You’ll get to hear from some of your favorite writers and also ask them questions. There will also be chances for photo ops and book signings.

AUTHOR MEET-UPS

Teens will have small meet-up sessions with these great YA authors. Meet-ups rotate in short sessions to get a few minutes to personally talk authors and a small handful of other avid teen readers. The coffee is optional. (as if!)

WRITING WORKSHOPS

Winners of our Writing Contest will get to participate in an exclusive writing workshop with award winning authors to learn and grow their writing abilities.
